When I was in grad school, I often visited "New York Bagels and Bialys". The ovens were always running and the bakery was oh so fresh. The best part though was Lenny, the 80 something proprietor who wanted to run away with me to Gilligan's Island. How can you not feel better than when noshing on a bialy stick after besting Ginger and Mary Ann? 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleMe Jewell Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 This darn spastic weather is driving me nuts. Friday it got down to 60F in the house (it was only about 55F outside), so I turned the heat on for a bit because I knew that the outside temp was not going to allow the house to warm on its own. Then yesterday, outside temp was in the upper 70s / low 80s and the house warmed up right along with it so I turned the air conditioner back on for a little while to cool it down. Then last night it dropped low again and I woke to a house that was reading 63F and had to pop the heat on for a tad. The high is only expected to get to 68F, so not sure if the house will actually get there on its own later or not. This time of year is just so crazy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping my basement office comfortable this time of year was nearly impossible without a little electric heater. In the dead of winter my office was always comfy, because the furnace was always blowing heat into the room. I have a new furnace now, with the ability to run the fan 24/7, and modulate both heating and cooling to minimize noise. So far I really have noticed a reduction in hot/cool spots. This has been the most comfortable, and least expensive, summer cooling season I've had and my office is more comfortable now than it usually is during this indecisive (heat?/cool?) weather. My thermostat automatically switches from heating to cooling, but it doesn't account for the "feels like" effects of varying humidity. And, I just discovered that the reason it's been ignoring my schedule is that it thinks I'm not home. When I wear a sweatshirt (as I do when working about the house) the motion sensor can't see me. I've disabled it. Humidity is still an issue, as a reduction using the AC really requires a significant difference between indoor and outdoor temperatures. That's not possible at the moment, and we're a month or more away from outdoor dew points falling into the "dry" zone. My entire home has hardwood flooring and ornate woodwork, so keeping the humidity stable is more than just a matter of comfort. A quiet whole basement/house humidifier is on my shopping list. The nasty growling portable dehumidifier just outside my office door makes me so angry I want to hire landscapers to dig up my yard and install a basement window so I can hurl the thing through it.

LittleMe Jewell Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) Our system will automatically switch between cool and heat if we set it that way, but it only uses a single temperature setting rather than a range. Typically in the summer, we'll let the house go up to 72 before the air conditioning kicks in, but for winter we keep it set to 68 before the heat kicks in. I don't want the air conditioning cooling it all the way down to 68 and I don't want the heater warming it up to 72. I suppose we could set it to 70 year round and let the system heat or cool as needed to keep it there, but then I'd still be running the system a bit more than really needed for true comfort and thus have higher heating/cooling bills that really necessary. What would be best is if I could set a high/low range such that it would kick in the cooling if it got above 72 and kick in the heat below 68, but do nothing other than the fan when it is inside that range. I haven't researched thermostats in quite a while - maybe there is one that will now allow a range when using the heat & cool option. And it must allow a different range for different times of the day -- like away at work and sleeping.

And it must allow a different range for different times of the day -- like away at work and sleeping. You can get thermostats that do exactly as you've described. Mine is furnace specific, but does that (cool to 74, heat to 68). There are four different lifestyle settings (Sleep, Wake, Home and Away) which hold different temperature settings, and I can schedule them anywhere during the day. My old Nest thermostat could do all of that, too. And both of them were accessible over the Internet, so I can turn things off when I leave the house, then start them up before I return so things are comfy when I arrive. Spoiled, I am. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
